Darrin Hall to Play in Prestigious Senior Bowl
1/24/2019 10:00:00 AM | Football
PITTSBURGH—Pitt running back Darrin Hall will play in the Reese's Senior Bowl this Saturday, January 26, in Mobile, Ala., the prestigious college all-star game announced.
The Senior Bowl is considered the top showcase for college football's best senior players and NFL Draft prospects. Played in Mobile, Ala., the game will be televised live by the NFL Network at 2:30 p.m.
This will be the second consecutive weekend Hall will play in a high-profile all-star game. Last Saturday in the East-West Shrine Game, he led all rushers with 77 yards on 12 carries (6.4 avg.).
An All-ACC performer in 2018, Hall (Youngstown, Ohio/Austintown Fitch) rushed for 1,144 yards and 10 touchdowns on 153 attempts. He ranked seventh nationally in rushing yards per carry, averaging a Pitt-record 7.48. That average broke the Pitt season mark held by the legendary Tony Dorsett (6.6 in 1975; minimum 1,000-yards gained).
